THE LATEST IN FALL AND WINTER TRENDS ARE HERE!
 40‘S
ROMANCE
Elegant femininity
Reviving the era of elegance, this trend direction takes
post-war, European women as its inspiration. Mixing soft
femininity with graceful tailoring, this lean aesthetic
comes with cinched and emphasised waists, heavenly coatdresses,
tweeds and uniform-like suits.
To enhance the nostalgia of this look, hair gets glamorous
with waves, collapsed spirals, victory rolls, chignons
and blown-out curls that give the head an asymmetric shape.
Colours are soft focus and romantically tinged with cherry
red, rich espresso, and chanteuse blonde. This is romance
that’s almost worth fighting for.
THE DARK AMAZONS
A dark side of beauty
Dark, dominant and deeply sexy, the warriors of style
are taking control. Referencing post-apocalypse classics
like Bladerunner and Mad Max, we see cigarillo-thin stilettos,
leather that’s moulded on the body, long, fluid dresses
slashed to the hip and knicker-skimming boots.
This full-throttle fashion demands equally dominant hair,
which comes definitively straight, precision cut, or styled
in up-dos like headdresses. Colours intentionally seek
conflict: stark blondes amidst negating shades of black
and inky purple. Beautifully brutal, these looks could
kill with desire.
 EIGHTIES
LUXE
Stylish decadence
Lush and luxurious, this trend direction speaks of maximum
effort and devil-may-care decadence. It’s all about
hitting the town; think satin cocktail frocks, razor-sharp
shoulders, and dolled-up party dresses.
The finish is everything with this look, so it’s
little surprise that when it comes to the hair, we see
ultra-glossy colours and a maintained sheen that appears
lit with a permanent spotlight. Eighties styles are referenced;
a rounded bob, curls and waves, but brought up-to-date
with modern shaping and slicing. Stylistically speaking,
the decade of decadence is back.
 OUT
OF SHAPE
Avant-garde forms
This season, artful shaping is creating a cocooning silhouette,
whilst synthetic colours add an avant-garde edge. Inspired
by New Wave streamlining and gender blurring, we are seeing
stiff draping, couture-like construction and oversized
volume that tends towards the sculptural.
Hair also follows a simplified line, but adds depth and
dimension with multilayered shaping and elongated forms.
Colours are equally anarchic (two-tone blondes, the whitest
of whites, rebellious reds), playing havoc amongst drawn-out
wedges, sculpted fins and quasi-mohawks. Artful and intellectual;
the perfect combination.

Make Up Trends:
Bold and bright is the order of the day for summer 2009
make-up, with the major color houses bringing a wealth
of floral-inspired shades alongside a kaleidoscope of
cocktail color.
The Looks:
Taking inspiration straight from the catwalks, eyes are
attention-grabbing color this season. From subtle liner
shades, or metallic lids, the style progresses to up-to-the-eyebrow
rainbow blending. Think of the 1970s for a theme based
on a kaleidoscope of bold coloring that clashes, yet complements,
all at the same time.
Lips are secondary, either blanked out in nudes or set
to complement in varying shades of pink. The complexion
is flawless and soft, with a hint of radiant blush highlighting
cheeks and a touch of shimmer completing the look.
Sea Shades:
Prepping us for the summer holidays, serene seaside hues
are common this season.
Splashings of Sea Breeze blue and Sea Grass green can
be seen along with deeper midnight tones.
Raspberry Pickings:
Every shade of berry-based pink is seen for spring 2009.
Vivid tones sit neatly alongside paler dusty hues, with
offerings ranging from the depth Purple lipstick, to Strawberry/Raspberry
Pop Stick Blush for cheeks, and multi-colored Fleur de
Feu eye palette.
Bold Brights:
Tying in with the eye-popping look, a bold, bright and
brilliant color palette can be seen across make-up this
season.
Think tropical for shades that incorporate everything
from citrus yellow to candy pink, sky blue and tomato
red. A cocktail of colors designed to literally be painted
on.
Key Women's Looks:
SPRING/SUMMER 2009 - There is a soft, light-as-air feeling
to spring. Sheer silk dresses are so delicate they might
fly off at a hint of summer breeze; florals burst into
bloom, while sweet violet in all its sugared shades is
the new spotlight color. Feminine, flared and flirty,
the dirndl skirt suits the season's free-spirited mood,
and even denim turns soft, in faded blue washes and wispy
frayed seams. The ultimate indulgence? Hand-painted fabrics.
The emblem you must have? Stars, stars and stars.
Women's Hair Trends:
The big news for hair next season is for fluffy finishes
and frizzy volume - think crimping, brushed out curls
and the birds-nest up-do. On the other hand, wet-look
styles also make a big splash for summer styling.
Birds-nest updos:
• First seen on the New York runways, the birds-nest
updo is the key statement for dressed hair next season
• Candyfloss textures are achieved through backcombing
and teasing
• Wispy, flyaway ends create a halo of frizz
• Hair is shaped into soft bouffants, sometimes slouching
at the back.
Whispy Frizz:
• Fluff and frizz is the key statement for hair next
season
• Frizzy ends are achieved through vigorously brushed
out curls
• Ends look dry and unconditioned
• Hair is flat at the crown but fluffs out at the
ends
• Ponytails are backcombed to create frizz
• Working alongside the mood for fluff and frizz
comes a resurgence for the 80s trend for crimping
Key Men's Looks:
The recent men's catwalk shows welcomed spring/summer
2009 with bright primary colors, warm neutrals, some classic
materials and a few innovative new ones. WGSN pinpoints
the key colors and materials for footwear and accessories.
With a move towards functionality, a range of technical
performance fabrics made their way into men's accessories
collections. Fabrics resembling wetsuits and military
garb were fashioned into utility hold alls and even infiltrated
footwear collections. This offers a more contemporary,
functional look for casual accessories, in contrast to
classic leather and canvas combinations or high-luxe exotic
leather products.
Men's Hair Trends:
The 50s quiff continued from last season but styled as
a neater backward flick, referencing the versions more
frequently seen on women. The 'Pompadour' look made popular
by Danny Zuko and the T-Birds in Grease still had its
place however, while the side parting came into play for
a refreshing combi-style.
Flying forward:
Brushed forward was taken to an extreme as the past short
back and sides look grew out. Describing some styles as
covering the eyes is perhaps an understatement as several
stretched down to the nose and beyond. Swept and shiny
was the mainstay of this trend, with some labels opting
for a gel-infused look to create a spiky, poker-straight
trim. The geek chic look is growing in popularity, with
the side parted version key for autumn/winter. |
